Emerald Amulet

The Dark Ages weren't called dark for nothing. People used to be very superstitious, and if you happened to be a woman, life was particularly harsh. An emerald pendant was thought to afford women protection against assault.

I created this neckace to enter the EST challenge, hosted by viltalakim, entitled 'Middle Ages'. I used extra long heavy brass rolo chain, as well as a very old emerald green plastic bead charm. This is an OOAK. Enjoy!
